《Life as a solo gamer》Chapter 16 - Illusion Barrier?
Advertisement
I woke up from my sleep.
'You have entered an Illusion Barrier'
"What's that? whatever.*Yawn*, I'm gonna make me a bowl of cereal I'm hungry."
I look around.
"Oops, I forgot I'm not even on earth anymore... Nevertheless, I'm still hungry."
I walk downstairs. But Bill 'The Inn employee or owner I don't know' isn't here.
I wait at the table for 5 minutes. Then 5 minutes turned to 30 minutes.
"Still isn't here? Hmph, Hmph, He can't feed his ONLY customer... Jesus."
I walk out of the Inn.
"What to do today-"
*Growl*
"Huh? a wolf? In the city?!"
Now that I've noticed this place is deserted except the massive amount of wolves and goblins and other monsters.
"Did the city get attacked? Oh, this is that 'Illusion Barrier that popped up in front of me earlier... I was half asleep. I didn't really notice."
'Sneak(Lv1) has become Sneak(Lv2)'
Level up? I didn't even notice I was using that skill.
"But seriously, I gotta get out of here! If just one of those monsters notices me then all of them will jump me."
As soon as I said that.
'Skill acquired ID Escape(Lv1)'
Without hesitation.
"ID Escape!"
Nothing happened?
*Growl*
"Eeeeek!" That was the girliest scream I've ever done, but forget that! "ID Escape! ID Escape! ID Escape!" What the hell, I even tried to do some random pose.
*Growl* "Gahhh" Almost all the monsters in the area are running towards me. I'm sweating so much that it's like I'm taking a bath.
No no no no.
'Crisis detection(Lv1) has become Crisis detection(Lv2)'
'Crisis detection(Lv2) has become Crisis detection(Lv3)'
'Crisis detection(Lv3) has becom-
SHUT THE FUCK UP! I raise my hands up in the air "Get me out!!" "ID Escape!"

The sky cracks and shatters like broken glass.
As I look around everybody is walking casually, no monsters.
"Back to normal! Just the way I like it!" I start crying.
I fall on my knees. "I could've di... died *weep* euhh... *sob*"
A woman and her husband comfort me.
"Hey what's wrong? It's gonna be ok."
"Don't worry, there is plenty of ways to make money!"
I wipe the tears off my face. I look towards the couple.
"I'm not some beggars you fuc-*sob* Gahhh leave me alone. I don't have time for this."
"Woah! ok, there buddy sorry for helping."
"Let's go, John, this brat is ungrateful." The couple walks away.
"Ungrateful? what the fuck? They are acting like they gave me a couple of gold coins or something."
Forget all that nonsense... I need to get STRONGER!
(AUTHORS NOTE: Sorry guys, I actually made 2000+ words but my computer shut off randomly. No, the battery didn't die it just randomly shut off. Tomorrow I'll have normal 1000 words chapters. Once again sorry guys.)

Coalescence of Two Lifetimes
Cilen was you typical, run-of-the-mill kinda guy. Well, until his parents passed away when he was 17 forcing him to learn to grow up. Fast. He figured it wouldn't be that bad. He had a house, he had an inheritance, he had friends that kept him company. And at first, it really wasn't anything But sometimes, the loneliness just gets to you. Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?" "Why did his parents pass away as they did, forcing him to fend for his own?" "Why wasn't he born in a rich household, with a silver spoon in his mouth that catered to his every need?" "Why was every step forwards so difficult, in this accursed society?" He wished that everything would be easy, like inside the worlds of the wuxia novels that he had grown up reading. Special constitution, lucky breaks, fast powerup, get all the chicks and defeat the big evil guy. Simple, easy, satisfying. But life ain't cut out to be that way. The main actors were already set, and there was no changing them. Unless, you moved to a different stage... But this ain't one of your friendly neighborhood transmigrations. It rewards those that are patient, creative and willing to adapt. But perhaps Cilen is able to make use of this opportunity and become something more. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This story is a personal love letter to all the pieces of fiction that I have read. Its a culmination of the things that made me laugh, cry and smile when I first read them and It has been a personal wish to craft a story that makes me feel the way I did when reading those stories for the first time. Its gonna be a slow ride but worth it. Promise. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash
